When I set up my pixel the first time I was pleased to see that my sms messages were transferred. Does anyone know whether this means Google is now backing up sms routinely (like Apple does with iMessage or Google does with Hangouts)? Were I to do a FDR, would my sms messages in Messenger be restored upon setting up the phone again? I've been using a third-party app to do this, but it would be nice to let Google take care of it. Thanks.
